Disney & Orlando Studios Trip

By the time we arrived to Orlando the kids were so excited and ready to see Disney and Orlando Studios. 


Just the drive up to Walt Disney World is magical. 

Our first day we went to Hollywood Studios because we were most excited for Toy Story Land and the Star Wars area. Both were awesome! 


The capacity at the park was lower because of COVID so we were able to ride all the rides and many of them twice. It was awesome! 



Ezra has always loved Buzz Lightyear 

This girl was so brave on all the rides. She was a half an inch tall enough to ride the big rides with us and did amazing! Her favorite was the Slinky rollercoaster. 



After thoroughly enjoying Toy Story Land we went over to the Star Wars area. 

We met a storm trooper. 

Ezra's favorite ride was the interactive one where you drive a ship. It was awesome! 

The scenes were put together with such detail. 

We found Doc Mcstuffins house. 

We also joined in on a dance party. 

Finally, we got to see all our favorite characters in a parade. There were no close meet and greets with characters to keep from passing germs. The kids were happy to wave from a far though. 

Day 2.. the Magic Kingdom. 

This castle is truly breathtaking up close. 

Kissing my Prince Charming in front of the castle. 

The kids loved the dumbo ride. 



Madelyn's favorite ride was the carousel. 

We rode almost all the rides and loved them all. Only a couple of lines were longer but mostly we were able to ride things quickly and keep moving. What an experience! 


We broke up our amusement park hopping with a day at the water park. We have been to several water parks but Universal's Volcano Bay was seriously the best park we have ever been to! 

They had amazing rides and an incredible kids area. Best of all, they had a system with wrist bands so we never had to wait in lines. It was honestly mine and the kid's favorite park of the week.  

The next few days we spent at the different Universal parks. We enjoyed the Dr. Seuss area a lot. 

Ezra really loved the Jurassic area. 

But the real reason we went to Universal was for the Harry Potter world. 

Walking through Hogwarts was such an amazing experience. 

We bought the kids some interactive wands that played with the different window fronts. 


We loved the shops that included all the different treats and details from the movies. 



Diagon Alley was incredible!! 

The Gringotts Bank had a huge dragon that breathed out real fire randomly. 

We found Hagrid's bike. 

Hagrid's ride was seriously the best roller coaster we have ever been on. 

It was so fun to go inside Gringotts Bank. 

What a treat to see the Weasley Brother's store too! t

The kids each got a stuffed animal and the stores were giving out halloween candy because it was the end of October. 

After a week of fun we were ready to hit the road again and make our way back to Texas! 
This was our first long road trip in America as a family and it will certainly not be our last.
